LANSFORD -- A popular pool in Carbon County is at risk of staying closed this summer after a high price tag to get it fixed.

Now, the people of Lansford are trying to get the rally cry out to save the Lansford pool.

Lansford's public pool was built in the 1940s and it's starting to show its age. That's why the borough council might have to close the pool for this summer while council members find a way to pay to fix it up.

The visions of sunny days, swimming and splashing in Lansford will have to wait as the borough works to decide what the next step is for this dilapidated community pool.

"Wear and tear over the years -- our diving board, our lifeguards chairs, the tiling and the biggest problem of course was the leak," said council member Rose Mary Cannon.
